68B: Compliance with production notice

You could also call this:

"You must follow a production notice and do what it says by the given date."

Illustration for Social Workers Registration Act 2003

If you get a production notice under section 68A, you must do what it says by the date it says. You cannot charge for doing what the notice says. You do not have to give any papers, documents, or things if they are private, like something you would not have to show in court, or if showing them would break a secrecy rule that a law says you must follow, except for rules in the Official Information Act 1982 or the Privacy Act 2020.
